The official Gemini app is now available natively on macOS. Use a simple shortcut (Option + Space) to bring up Gemini instantly. Share your active window for contextual help, analyze local files, and generate content without ever switching tabs.

Hi everyone! This is a Gemini that sits much closer to your intent, and much closer to the way you actually interact with your Mac. Instead of opening a tab and re-explaining everything, you can pull it up with Option + Space, share the window you are already working in, and get contextual help right there. That is a much better product shape for desktop AI. Will it become your always-there assistant on macOS?

@zaczuo How smart is the window-sharing at picking up multi-tab workflows? Like if I'm jumping between Figma, Notion notes, and a PH launch page for branding research; does it auto-connect the dots, or do I still need to spoon-feed "analyze this together"?

什么时候有Windows版本？

The "analyze local files" part — what's the scope there? Like can it read a messy 80-page PDF sitting on my desktop, or is it more limited to certain file types? Also curious if the files ever leave your machine or if that processing stays local.

That's a next level upgrade on Mac, cant wait to test it!. Would a Windows version also come soon?

I was really excited about this, but my goodness does it ever crash a lot! I hope in the next few weeks there will be enough releases to make it stable but right now it’s more stable for me to use Gemini on the web in a pinned Safari app.
